I love your commercials! They obviously tweak the liberals! Haven't been to the store yet but next time I'm close I will. Keep em coming!
Solomon's commercials are obnoxious in my view.
What businessman alienates half the community as potential customers? His commercials are arrogant, smug, self-satisfied, and pretty unwise, unless he can corner the Rush Limbaugh contingent and never needs liberal interest in his product.
Just based on his pushy, prideful politics, I'll take my business elsewhere. Why feed obstinacy?
Chet Smith is awesome. Soft-spoken and thoughtful, and spent a lot of time with me before giving me a better price than my first source on an item. Great experience.
Complete value – The best place to get complete value of what you sell
You Have the best Commercial on KTTH – I just had to write a comment about you radio commercial on KTTH at 3:00 p.m. today. It was the perfect commercial, supporting the president as a hook then humor that had me laughing all the way home. I hope you are able to retire after the next five years. Whoever created the spot deserved every penny, for creativity it was a 10. I'm sorry I have not done business with your company especially about 4 years ago. If I choose to purchase coins and precious metals I'm coming to Redmond Rare Coins.
Can you send a copy of the commercial through email by chance? I would love to play it for several people I know.
Hello & Thanks for the kind words!
Please e-mail me your address to email@example.com and I'll send it over to you. You're always welcome to drop in and have a cup of coffee.
PS: I personally write all the commercials. All I have to do is listen to the morning news and I get so worked up driving to the
office they just come out of me.
Best regards,

Best Coin Shop around – If you are looking for a well rounded coin shop, Redmond Rare Coins fit the bill. The shop is well organized and clean with a staff that is knowledgeable and helpful. Ralph and Chet know their stuff. They carry everything from bullion to foreign coins as well as foreign and US currency. Their grading is comparable to PCGS or NGC standards. They definitely pay higher than most outfits if you are thinking of selling bullion. The only bad thing I can say about Redmond Rare Coins is that it can be difficult to get into the parking lot and sometimes the parking is scarce but that doesn't take away from the fact, you have to visit.
Best gold coin prices in Seattle! – My dad was really happy with the price he got for his gold coin collectoin. They were very professional and easy to work with.
Good prices, helpful service – I like people that know their stuff and Ralph and company are very experienced and give you an honest opinion about prices for gold and what you are selling. They are also a very good coin dealer if you are interested in gold and old coins.
Very good gold prices! Highest return I've seen – The staff at Redmond Rare Coins near Seattle was not only courteous and apologetic for the short wait but they were knowledgeable, professional and pleasant in making my appraisal. It was well worth the wait. They pay out the going rate for gold as seen on the monitor above the coin cases. It's a class act.

I have made this recipe several times, and it's a winner every time!!! I do like to add a dollop of sour cream on top when serving this. I also use a tad more ground beef and cheese than called for. Simple, easy, you can't go wrong!!!!
I made this recipe exactly as written and mine came out much drier I think it should have. We were really disappointed in it the first night. The second night I served with sour cream and enchilada sauce and it was much better but still not something that I would make it again. IF I did make it again I would make some changes one of which would be to incorporate the sour cream and the enchilada sauce into the layers. I would liked to have given this 2 ½ stars. It was not awful so I did not want to give it 2 stars just not that special. It does make a lot.
We added black olives to this...
Made this for dinner tonight. Whole family loved it. However, I made a few changes right off the bat. My current changes were: I used whole wheat flour tortillas, venison burger (about 1 1/2 pounds), TWO packets of taco seasoning. 4 cups (2- 8oz bags) of shredded Mexican cheese. We also added sour cream and guacamole as a garnish.Things I will do differently next time I make it: I will use sliced GREEN onions in beef mixture AND as a garnish. I will use a tub of fresh salsa instead of Mexican diced tomatoes, and when I do that I will delete the 2/3 cup water, because fresh salsa has way more juice than a can of diced tomatoes. And I would definitely break up the top layer of tortilla's and spread them evenly, cuz those were tough to cut. I had to perforate them with a sharp knife to get an even cut. Even sprinkled with cheese and baked they were not soft enough to cut pieces with the spatula.Other than my changes, this was an awesome first time recipe for us and we liked it!
This is one of my favorite dinner recipes! It is so easy to assemble and so yummy! I add some frozen corn to the beef mixture, and serve it with lettuce and jalapeño -- yum!

Challenge Criterium 320 Tire - Clincher $74.99
Supple and smooth.
Similar to the rest of Challenge's high end clinchers, the Criterium 320 tire uses an open tubular design. We know that it sounds like an oxymoron -- a clincher tubular. However, the benefits of Challenge open tubulars are astounding. They use the same handmade construction techniques and materials as Challenge's tubulars, with the only difference being that instead of a sewn construction, beads are actually formed by folding the casing around a durable fiber known as Aramid. This material is used for the tire beads for the same reason that it's used for bulletproof vests -- it provides lightweight, compact strength. Aramid prevents rolling-off in corners and adds to the cumulative strength of the tire.
The Criterium 320 Clincher relies on its proven tread pattern in order to provide both low rolling-resistance and incredible grip. Longitudinal ribs run down the center, with a herringbone structure on either side. And like the good old days, this legendary tread pattern is still glued by hand to the casing after the casing has been tensioned. The logic behind this is that, when a tread made separate from the casing, it rides better and with less rolling-resistance. The reason behind this is that it doesn't get deformed by the inflation of the tire.
Below the tread, Challenge applied its classic corespun cotton casing. Essentially, this means that the casing fibers are made by twisting staple cotton fibers around a central filament core, creating one yarn from multiple fibers. As a result, the material is between 40 and 50% stronger than typically spun materials, while retaining a similar, if not lower, overall weight. This results in a thin, light, and flexible case that is super-supple. The thread count is 320 threads per inch (TPI), which is the highest in the Challenge line. This not only creates the smoothest ride available in a clincher design, but it also contributes to the Criterium 320's low weight (200g per tire).
And to provide protection against flats, a thin corespun polyester belt -- the same material that makes the casing -- is sandwiched between the casing and the tread. It's also glued on when the casing is under pressure. Challenge calls this its Puncture Protection System (PPS), giving a little added protection under the tread while leaving the sidewalls thin and supple.
The Challenge Criterium 320 Clincher measures 700c x 23mm and is available in the colors Black/black and Black/tan.

Ever wondered what Maqui Berry tasted like but can't afford a trip to Patagonia? Or wanted to try authentic Polynesian vanilla? Yogurtland has an app for that.
Yogurtland introduces Flavor Quest, a global celebration of flavors. Complementing the bounty of new yogurt flavors, Yogurtland is also introducing a Smartphone app with a Flavor Finder function that allows guests to find the flavors they crave at a Yogurtland nearby.
"You won't need a passport to take your taste buds around the world. With Flavor Quest, Yogurtland is bringing the world's best flavors to your spoon," says Charlotte Lucich, director of marketing at Yogurtland. "Our chief flavorologist led his team on a quest around the globe to find the finest ingredients for our passionate flavor-seeking fans. And now with our new mobile app and Flavor Finder, our fans can quickly find which Yogurtland is serving the new flavors and their familiar favorites."
Yogurtland's continual search to find the world's best flavors and honest ingredients has taken the company's flavorologist to the forest of Patagonia, the spice markets of India, to Japan to experience the ancient traditions of black sesame, and to New Orleans, the birthplace of Bananas Foster. This search has been chronicled in a series of videos, including the travel and taste adventures behind Flavor Quest. Yogurtland will offer these global flavors over a three-month period while giving guests a chance to earn free yogurt by scanning the QR codes of the Flavor Quest destinations posted inside the stores.
Yogurtland's new globally-inspired flavors include: Maqui Berry Tart from Patagonia, Tiramisu from Italy, Polynesian Vanilla from the French Polynesian islands, Spiced Chai from India, Crème Brulée from France, Sticky Toffee Pudding from England, POG Sorbet from Hawaii, Bananas Foster from New Orleans, Mexican Hot Chocolate from Mexico, and Black Sesame Vanilla from Japan.
Yogurtland's new mobile app complements the Flavor Quest promotion and has a Flavor Finder feature that allows guests to find their favorite flavor at the Yogurtland nearest them. The app has three ways to search flavors: first, by searching the flavor name, second by using a location to search flavors nearby, and the third way is to the find the location of the nearest Yogurtland and see what flavors are currently being served.
The Flavor Finder will be updated daily to provide real-time information about which flavors are being served at Yogurtland shops across the country.
During the Flavor Quest promotion, guests can use the app to scan the QR code on the flavor cards posted in stores. After scanning five new flavors (only one scan per flavor and one scan per day), fans will earn five free ounces of yogurt. After scanning all 10 flavors, guests receive 10 ounces free and will be entered for a chance to win free yogurt for a year. Guests can also use the app to name, describe, and share their frozen yogurt creation through social media outlets.
To find the app, search Yogurtland in your mobile app store.

What is a fossil fuel subsidy?
A fossil fuel subsidy is any government action that lowers the cost of fossil fuel energy production, raises the price received by energy producers or lowers the price paid by energy consumers. There are a lot of activities under this simple definition—tax breaks and giveaways, but also loans at favorable rates, price controls, purchase requirements and a whole lot of other things.

How much money does the U.S. government give oil, gas and coal companies?
In the United States, credible estimates of annual fossil fuel subsidies range from $14 billion to $52 billion annually, while even efforts to remove small portions of those subsidies have been defeated in Congress, as shown in the graphic below. Download your own pdf copy here.
Capitol Spill Graphic Background:
$2.4 Billion: subsidies to the Big Five producers debated and defeated in the Senate in 2011 and 2012
The Repeal Big Oil Tax Subsidies Act, sponsored by Senator Menendez (D-NJ) was debated and defeated by the Senate for two years running, and would have eliminated $2.4 billion in annual tax deductions for the five major oil companies: BP, Exxon, Chevron, Shell and ConocoPhillips.
Although the move would have been an initial step, it's just the tip of the iceberg. So called "independent" oil companies are hardly small businesses. Major integrated oil companies also include Occidental, Amerada Hess, Marathon, Murphy Oil and dozens of others. Together, these companies produced 53.5 percent of U.S. oil in 2009.
$4 Billion: Subsidy cuts President Obama proposed in the 2013 budget.
President Obama has proposed cutting fossil fuel subsidies every year he's been in office. The projections for savings have varied slightly each year but always hover around $4 billion annually. Congress has never even proposed voting on all of them.
$10 billion. Low end credible comprehensive estimates. Several recent independent estimates of U.S. fossil fuel subsidies all arrive at roughly this number, although they consider slightly different things. Recent studies include those conducted by Management Information Services, Environmental Law Institute, and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development – OECD. (The OECD numbers compiled and analyzed here.)
The Sanders / Ellison "End Polluter Welfare Act" also clocks in at $11.3 billion annually.
$52 billion. Highest credible comprehensive estimate. Includes some costs associated with defending pipelines and shipping lanes in the Persian Gulf. Earth Track, an NGO that specializes in subsidy valuation, estimates that annual oil, gas and coal subsidies total about $52 billion annually.
As if that wasn't enough, the reality is that the fossil fuel industry has profound impacts in much bigger ways.
Health. A 2009 report by the National Academy of Sciences claims that burning fossil fuels results in about $120 billion per year in health-related costs.
Infrastructure spending. The US is already committed to spending at least $1.6 trillion additional dollars per year in maintenance, new vehicles and fuel. We built our power transmission lines on the assumption of large, remote power plants. We build our houses and industries on the assumption of cheap electricity; those practices, codes and regulations are still embedded in our construction and manufacturing sectors. We built our power transmission lines on the assumption of large, remote power plants.
Costs from climate change. The costs of accelerating climate change are staggering, and are certainly greater than the costs of ending our dependence on fossil fuels.
Favorable corporate structures. According to new research (July 2013), fossil fuel companies are the main beneficiaries of favorable corporate structures under Master Limited Partnerships that provides them with some $4 billion per year in subsidies and tax avoidance.
Whatever the numbers, it seems ludicrous that any of our tax dollars would support such established and profitable industries. These energy subsidies are completely out of step with a nation that now broadly accepts the need to end our collective oil addiction and fight global warming.
What are the benefits from removing fossil fuel subsidies?
One of the most obvious benefits of ending fossil fuel subsidies is increasing the availability of public money. Additionally, ending excessive and wasteful support for fossil fuels would reduce greenhouse gas emissions that lead to global warming.
The money saved from fossil fuel subsidies could be used to promote clean energy and energy efficiency alternatives, which would be in line with public opinion. A 2010 poll by Stanford University found public support for government action to increase clean energy and energy efficiency. The poll found that 84 percent are in favor of giving companies tax breaks to produce more electricity from water, wind, and solar power; 81 percent want more fuel efficient cars that use less gasoline; 80 percent want more appliances that use less electricity; and 80 percent want more home and office buildings that require less energy to heat and cool.
What is the U.S. government doing to end fossil fuel subsidies?
For the last several years, President Obama has proposed eliminating $4 billion in oil and gas subsidies from the U.S. budget. While these are not all the subsidies that this mature and very profitable industry enjoys, they are some of the most obvious. But Congress hasn't yet approved President Obama's budget cuts.
Fossil fuel subsidies have come up in Congress – and rightly so! – in discussions of ways to cut government expenditures in order to balance the budget. In the spring of 2011, there was a push by some legislators to remove subsidies that target only the major oil companies – in particular, the "Big Five" (BP, Exxon, Chevron, Shell, ConocoPhillips). While this would end some of the oil subsidies, it would unfortunately exclude a number of huge companies such as Valero, Koch Industries, Occidental, Anadarko, Amerada Hess, Marathon, Murphy Oil and a number of more diversified energy companies that also produce large quantities of the nation's oil and gas.
In the fall of 2011, there was some hope that fossil fuel subsidy reduction could be included in the Super Committee's proposal to Congress for $1.5 trillion in deficit-reduction measures over the next ten years. There was support in Congress for this: In an October letter to the Super Committee, 36 House Democrats urged the committee to end subsidies to the fossil fuel industry that would save up to $122 billion over the next ten years.
But in the end, it proved to be an uphill battle to get the Super Committee to take a stand on fossil fuel subsidies – and perhaps that's not so surprising, given the influence of fossil fuel industry money on the Super Committee. Eight Super Committee members received over $300,000 in contributions from the fossil fuel industry since 1999: Senators Baucus (D-MT), Kyl (R-AZ), Portman (R-OH), and Toomey (R-PA), and Representatives Camp (R-MI), Clyburn (D-SC), Hensarling (R-TX), and Upton (R-MI).
Is there any reason to be concerned about removing fossil fuel subsidies?
Calls for subsidy removal tend to be answered by the oil industry and their allies with dire predictions of falling domestic production, loss of jobs, and rising gas prices. But the reality is that removing fossil fuel subsidies (which the industry deceptively calls new taxes) will have little to no impact on domestic production, jobs, or prices at the pump.
According to the Treasury Department, removing the domestic subsidies as proposed in the President's budget would reduce U.S. oil production less than one half of one percent, and will increase exploration and production costs less than two percent. Considering the price that the domestic industry receives for crude has more than doubled over the past several years, the industry can afford that – without laying anyone off or jacking up the price at the pump.
The global oil market, not the domestic industry, determines gas prices. Treasury estimates that subsidy removal would cause a loss of less than one tenth of one percent in global oil supply, and thus would have no impact on global or U.S. prices.
The only way to end our reliance on foreign oil is to end our dependence on all oil.
How come there's such a big range in estimates of fossil fuel subsidies?
First, accounting methods and exact definitions of subsidies vary. Second, while environmental and consumer groups tend to calculate the total amount of revenue to the American taxpayer that these subsidies cost, others note that "many subsidies have a higher value to recipients than their direct cost to the government." In other words, the higher values are more indicative of the corporate welfare given to the already highly profitable oil industry annually, while the more conservative figures are a better estimate of how much the elimination of these subsidies would save the U.S. taxpayer.
Finally, some of the highest estimates include a portion of defense spending (more info on defense subsidies to oil here and here). It should be noted that while the estimate of $53 billion in fossil fuel subsidies annually does include some of the cost of U.S. military "defense" of the Persian Gulf region, it does not specifically incorporate any increase in defense spending relating to Iraq, or any quantification of the environmental externalities associated with oil. And none of the amounts cited include fossil fuel subsidies in the form of international aid, which is explained in greater detail on this page.
While the estimates of how much subsidies are worth varies, estimates of the relative levels of funding of energy types are consistent. The chart from Environmental Law Institute on the right illustrates that the vast majority of subsidies still go to fossil fuels.
What can I do to help end fossil fuel subsidies in the United States?
So how do we transform oil companies into energy companies and jumpstart the new energy economy? The first step is a Separation of Oil & State – including an end to governmental subsidies to Big Oil and an investment in renewable energy alternatives and energy efficiency instead.

Maximizing Deliverability
How New Gmail Image Caching Affects Email Marketers
December 12, 2013 | Sean Wirt
Last week Gmail began to cache images for messages received by its users. This caused an uproar within the email marketing industry, as this action negatively affects a marketer's ability to track total opens. If a tracking image pixel is cached, it can only be used once - all subsequent opens of that image would not tracked. Since this was first noticed, there have been many public discussions among email marketers about why Google would make this change. Well, it looks like we now have our answer.
Google announced today that it would begin showing images in messages by default. Gmail indicates that now "your messages are more safe and secure, your images are checked for known viruses or malware, and you'll never have to press that pesky 'display images below' link again."
This would appear to be a win for marketers and consumers. Marketers' messages will now display the way they intended them to, and they will likely see an increase in unique "open" data as the tracking pixels should be enabled by default as well.
The one initial downside could be a decrease in total opens due to the issue mentioned above; however, the usefulness of the total opens metric has been under debate for a while. The good news for consumers (and marketers) is that they will no longer have to click to allow images to be displayed for every message they receive.
You can read about it more on the Gmail Blog:
UPDATE 12-13-13 - It looks like Desktop Gmail users started getting images on by default today with mobile users being affected in the New Year. More information at MarketingLand. and Washington Post.

Yahoo! Mail Reports Outage
December 11, 2013 | Sean Wirt
It has been reported (and confirmed by Yahoo) that some users have been unable to access their Yahoo mailbox since Monday evening. There is no indication that this is affecting delivery of mail to Yahoo, only the ability to access the mail by end users.
What this means for marketers is that you may see a slight drop in opens and clicks from Monday until this issue is resolved. Yahoo indicates that the issue should be resolved today. So, there may be a 2-day period where you may see a drop. Once things are resolved on Yahoo's end, you should see your statistics return to normal.
You can keep up-to-date on Yahoo!'s progress fixing the problem on Yahoo!'s help desk page.
We will update this post once we receive confirmation that the issue has been resolved.
Update 12-16-13: Yahoo! CEO Marissa Meyer apologizes for outage. Access to most of the 1% affected has been restored. More info on CNET.

Responding to Yahoo's New "Not My Email" Button
September 26, 2013 | Sean Wirt
As you may have already read about in industry publications, Yahoo recently released a batch of stale user accounts back into "the wild," allowing new users to adopt these old email addresses. However, as the new users began using these recycled accounts, they realized that they were receiving email that was likely intended for the former owner.
Understandably so, this started to raise security concerns around the potential of sensitive information intended for the former owners being exposed to the new users. In response to these concerns, Yahoo this week announced that they would implement a "Not My Email" button within their email environment.
This new button allows recipients to send a complaint back to the sender via Yahoo's Feedback Loop (FBL) program. All active StrongView customers are already enrolled in Yahoo's FBL program, so there is no need to take any additional actions at this time.
If you're not a StrongView client, I strongly recommend that you sign-up for Yahoo's FBL program (as well all other FBL programs). Not only will this assist you with this current issue, but it will help to improve and/or solidify your reputation with the ISPs.

Hotmail is Now (Officially) Outlook.com
May 07, 2013 | Sean Wirt
Over the past few months, Microsoft has (not so quietly) been rolling out its new Outlook.com email service and moving Hotmail customers over the Outlook.com platform. Late last week, they announced that the move is now complete. Over 300 million Hotmail.com addresses are now on the Outlook.com platform as well as the more than 100 million new Outlook.com addresses. Existing Hotmail customers can continue to use their hotmail.com addresses and new customers will be given Outlook.com addresses.
From a delivery standpoint, we have seen very little change. The "migration" appears to be mainly front-end changes. Going to www.hotmail.com will now redirect users to the same destination as www.outlook.com. The messages are continuing to go through the same back-end platform with very little impact.
For now, they appear to have maintained the status quo. As always, the StrongView Delivery Services team will continue to monitor the situation and keep clients updated on any developments and/or changes.

The Key to Optimum Email Deliverability
April 29, 2013 | Sean Wirt
"What's the best way to stay on top of our reputation and delivery?" That's one of the more popular questions we get from clients, and the answer is a simple one: reporting. Solving deliverability problems can be complicated, but identifying them is just the opposite. That's why it's important to have access to detailed deliverability reporting that enables you to easily monitor all messages being sent from your brand. Having access to the right reports allows you to not only see where you may be having issues, but also identify trends over time.
If you're only actively monitoring opens and clicks, you need to expand the data you track to include bounces (hard and soft) and complaints. By monitoring these key factors, you should have a fairly good understanding of your overall reputation. This data can also give you some crucial feedback on your list acquisition and maintenance policies.
If you continue to see high complaint or hard bounce rates, then you most likely need to take a look at your list acquisition practices. You can start by asking yourself a few questions. Are you requiring recipients to confirm their email address when they sign-up to receive your mailings? Are you setting realistic expectations on when and how often your recipients will hear from you? And, are you processing the bounces and complaints as soon as you receive them?
You should also remember that opens and clicks aren't just an indicator of campaign performance – they can offer some insight into your sender reputation as well. Have you seen a recent or sudden decline in your open or click rates? If so, this could be an indication that your messages have started going to the spam/bulk folder. Using a deliverability tool with a seedlist-based inbox monitor like StrongView's StrongDelivery Tools can help to confirm your suspicions.
Poor sender reputation is one of the top reasons that ISPs will deliver your email to the bulk folder, which is proprietary blend of complaint, bounce and engagement rates. If you have low open and click rates, ISPs will factor that into your reputation, which can cause them to eventually de-prioritize the delivery of your messages. This de-prioritization can come in the form of slowing the rate at which they will accept your mail, lowering volume limits of mail that they will accept, or delivering your messages to the bulk folder.
There are many aspects to email delivery, and unfortunately, the ISPs aren't completely transparent when it comes to their filtering and reputation systems. However, that no excuse not to do what's within your control - and that includes getting access to detailed deliverability reporting and actively monitoring it to identify issues.

The Deliverability Challenge Introduced by Email Receipts for In-Store Purchases
December 20, 2012 | Sean Wirt
One of the current hot topics in the world of deliverability right now stems from email receipts that retailers are adopting for in-store purchases. If you've bought anything in a larger retail chain in the last couple of months, you likely know what I'm talking about. As you're completing your transaction at the check-out counter, the sales associate asks if you would prefer to have a printed receipt or have a digital receipt emailed to you. In a lot of ways, this makes sense. The consumer has one less receipt to keep track of in their wallet or lost in the bottom of a shopping bag, and an email receipt makes it instantly searchable in their inbox if they need to reference it later on. This all sounds perfect. If only it were so.
Veteran email marketing journalist Ken Magill has reported that some retailers are taking an email deliverability hit because of typos that are occurring when sales associates enter a customer's email address. Here's the problem. These typos have caused Spamhaus, the well-known anti-spam crusader and blocklist provider, to begin blocking email sent from typo-affected retailers. One prominent example is The Gap's recently inclusion on Spamhaus' blocklist, which is being attributed to these typoed email addresses.
What's happening is that Spamhaus operates a number of spamtrap or "typo-trap" domains that are variations of popular online brands. The idea is these typo-traps allow Spamhaus to identify senders with bad data collection processes. It would be one thing if the typoed email receipt was the only message to hit the typo-trap; the trouble starts if the retailer automatically signs up that bad email address for ongoing marketing promotions. The continual mailing to these addresses can kick you onto Spamhaus' blocklist. So what do you do?
You may not agree with Spamhaus putting legitimate brands on their blocklist for the bad email captures at point of sale (and many marketers don't), but if you want to ensure your messages get delivered there are a couple of things you can do to help – and some you should be doing anyway.
If you currently use email receipts at retail locations (or are thinking about it), you should invest in a system that can identify bad domains at the point of capture. If the sales associated is immediately warned of a bad domain when they input it into the system, they can either correct it or ask the consumer to confirm the correct address. The other option is to have the device require double entry. Not only will these tactics help keep you off blocklists, it will also ensure the consumer gets the receipt.
If you want to be able to add the email address you collected for future email promotions, you can consider using a confirmed opt-in (COI) process where the customer has to respond to a confirmation email before they begin receiving email communications. This also puts the consumer in control of whether they want to receive email communications from you after an in-store sale, which can reduce complaints from customers who weren't properly informed that they would be receiving marketing messages as a result of the email receipt.
You can also choose to only use the email address once to send the receipt and not save it to your database. You lose out on this information, but you also don't risk continuing to email to a bad address.
Consumers seem to be embracing the email receipt for in-store purchases, so marketers need to be strategic about the best way to implement it that won't affect their overall marketing efforts – either by turning off customers or getting put on a blocklist that could potentially affect email marketing promotions across their entire customer base.

Lessons in Deliverability: How to Avoid a "Kitchen Nightmare"
July 31, 2012 | Sean Wirt
I was watching Gordon Ramsay's "Kitchen Nightmares" the other night and thought, "Wow! Some of these restaurants closely mirror email programs that I've worked with!" I'm sure you're thinking "Huh?" Don't worry. I'll get to that in a minute.
For those of you who have not seen "Kitchen Nightmares" here's a quick synopsis of the show: The owner of a once successful, now struggling, restaurant reaches out to world-renowned chef Gordon Ramsay. Ramsay then visits the restaurant, samples the food, gets to know the owners and staff and then (with a lot of screaming and cursing) works with the owners and staff to turn the restaurant around. The restaurant gets a makeover, not only to the building, but also the menu. The staff gets re-trained and the owners go through some soul-searching, which inevitably leads to a positive attitude change.
So, you ask, "How does this have anything to do with email programs?" Here's how…
One common theme that all of these restaurants have is that they were once very successful. But, over time business has fallen off, and they are now on the brink of failure. The reason business has fallen off is that the owners put the business on cruise-control, didn't make any positive changes (to the menu or the décor) and customers lost interest. Ramsay comes in, infuses some excitement in the menu, the décor and the attitudes of the staff and business picks up again.
We see this all the time with mailing programs. A client builds their list and their program and thinks they can put things on cruise-control. They feel that as long as they are removing complaints and hard bounces they'll be good-to-go. That may have been the case a couple of years ago, but that's no longer going to fly. Today, ISPs put a lot of value in user engagement and sending to unengaged users will eventually have a negative effect on your reputation. This is the point where StrongView's deliverability experts step in and play the role of Gordon Ramsay. We help our clients understand that not only do they have to continue to remove their complaints and hard bounces, but they need to also look at their "openers" and "clickers."
If you find that recipients aren't opening and clicking, then it's highly likely that they aren't interested any longer. If they aren't interested, then try to infuse some excitement in your mailing program that will rekindle the interest. Send a special offer (free shipping, 25% off your next order, etc.), anything to get them excited again. If they don't respond to your offer, then remove them from your list. There's no need to continue to mail to someone who's not interested. Not only will you reduce the overhead of sending to recipients unnecessarily, but you will also improve your reputation with the ISPs.
So, don't let your mailing program turn into a "Kitchen Nightmare!" Don't put the program on cruise-control. Keep the décor and menu (offers, design, etc.) fresh and your customers will keep coming back for more!

Email Append, A Cautionary Tale
June 28, 2012 | Sean Wirt
For the record, I am not a fan of email appending programs. If you are not familiar with the term, MAAWG defines appending as "taking known demographic information and using various methods to determine an email address for the purpose of adding people to a list or otherwise sending them email messages." So, for example, you may have an account with a department store, but the store does not have your e-mail address. The store may hire a third-party company to try and find email addresses for those clients whose email addresses are not in their database. Last fall, MAAWG published its "Position on Email Appending," in which they describe it as an "abusive practice."
Recently, I started receiving member email from a credit union in Indiana. The problem is that I don't live in Indiana, nor am I a member of this particular institution. A quick search showed me that there is a Sean Wirt who lives in the area served by this credit union; however, he is not me. The most likely scenario is that this credit union engaged in an appending program that went awry.
The problem with the verification method they chose is that they clearly appended data using name only. The same web search showed that there are at least three Sean Wirt's in the U.S. – 1 in Florida, 1 in Indiana and 1 in North Carolina (me). I am unaware of any data related to me that would suggest that I would be a member of a credit union in Indiana. Once they decided that my email address was the correct one, they did not even attempt to confirm with me that their information was correct – they simply started sending me their newsletters. Even better, the newsletter was not CAN-SPAM compliant, as it had no unsubscribe link!
So, what's the moral? Don't append! If you ignore this advice and do it anyway, at least give the recipients a chance to tell you that they aren't who you think they are and/or give them the opportunity to opt-out immediately. If all else fails, make sure your emails are CAN-SPAM compliant!

A Creative Approach to Solving Gmail Deliverability Issues
May 31, 2012 | Sean Wirt
I've been a BIG fan of Shari's Berries and ProFlowers for years! Whenever my family is in a pinch to send last-minute gifts, we almost always send berries. As a fan, I subscribed to their mailing list years ago so that I could take advantage of their great deals. Occasionally, I noticed that some of their messages were going to my spam folder in Gmail. Knowing the effect this had on my receiving their messages in my inbox, I naturally clicked the "Not Spam" button in Gmail. (Of course, many "average Joes" don't realize the impact that has, but I won't go off on that tangent!)
Anyhow, a few months back, I started noticing that the subject lines of some of my messages From Shari's Berries and ProFlowers were targeted at Gmail users. There were subjects such as "Gmail Users Weekend Sales Event: 59% off a Gift Mom will Remember Forever" and "Our Easter Flash Sale for Gmail Users is Now! 63% off Delicious Easter Strawberries." I remember being at a MAAWG event when I received the first one and pointed out to colleagues what a great idea it was. They even went so far as to send out a message with this subject: "Gmail Notice: Please check your settings today." I distinctly remember forwarding that one out to our deliverability team saying something like "Wow! Check this out!"
The email included step-by-step instructions on how to report the message as "Not Spam" and also how to add the "From" address to their address book. Not only did they tell you how to do it, they gave you a visual depiction of the process – love it!
All of this background leads to my point. Industry columnist Ken Magill posted a Magill Report article last week talking specifically about ProFlowers' campaigns (ProFlowers and Shari's Berries are both parts of the Provide Commerce family of brands) and the effect they had on delivery. Ken writes: "But during the week of March 19th, ProFlowers' Gmail inbox placement rate jumped from 35.9 percent to 71.8 percent, according to eDataSource. Two weeks later, the rate surpassed 85 percent, according to eDataSource. The following week—and every week thereafter—the rate has been above 95 percent, according to eDataSource. ProFlowers started using subject lines targeted to Gmail users at the end of February and stopped in April, according to eDataSource. The results speak for themselves."
I love when marketers get creative in their efforts to improve delivery (especially when it works)! The lesson here is that when you think outside the box can you can be rewarded with GREAT results. If you find you're getting caught in the spam folder at one of your key ISPs and any overtures to their postmaster team hasn't produced any results, then don't be afraid to create a campaign to correct the problem.

My Two Pillars of Email Deliverability
February 23, 2012 | Spencer Kollas
It seems like I have been working in the email and digital marketing space for as long as I can remember. I still think back to the days when I was working at NASCAR.com, and we realized the value of personalization in emails and noticed significant increases when we simply mentioned a fan's favorite driver – let alone if we put their photo in the message rather than the generic NASCAR.com logo. A lot has changed over the years, yet it seems like many of us in the delivery space are still talking about the same email deliverability and other best practices over and over.
As I look back at all of the various suggestions and recommendations that I personally have given over the years, there are two pieces of advice that I still believe are the most important for everyone to remember:
- Don't compare yourself to others; focus on what works for your business model and customers
- Relevancy is the key
First, let's talk about how much we all try to keep up with the Joneses and how it can actually hurt us more than help us. In just about every aspect of our lives these days, we seem to want to compare ourselves to each other. It might be comparing your house to those in your neighborhood, or maybe you are a car person and you always need to have the nicest car. I think this tendency comes from a need to feel like we are doing better than others – and the same thing happens in the digital marketing space. Too many of us want to look at what others are doing and then assume that we should be doing the same thing—if company X can send mail like that, I should be able to as well.
A perfect example of these type of observations and wanting to be like everyone else in the industry is when marketers come to me (or others) and say something like "Well all these other daily deal sites send messages to their entire list every day, I think we should do that too." The problem with this perspective is that many times it doesn't make sense for their business model. Maybe the company doesn't have a model that generates enough new and relevant content to send to all of their users at that frequency, which takes us to my next point—it is all about Relevancy.
I can still remember talking with Dave Lewis over 5 years ago, when he was one of the few people at the time that was really talking about relevancy. Every time I say the word, I hear it in his voice. At the time, I didn't always understand all the nuances of email deliverability, but as time went on, I soon became an equal proponent of relevancy. In short, sending messages to users that don't connect in any way will not help your brand and may actually hurt it. If you continue to send irrelevant messages, fewer people will open them and more will eventually unsubscribe or even mark your messages as SPAM.
So try to think back to when you got started in the digital marketing world---has anything changed in the way you view things? Are you still telling your executives or your co-workers the same best practices as you were back then?

Coach-firin' season creates strange statistics
Mandatory afternoon reading from Patrick Stevens, who's undertaken a mathematical examination of coaching tenures in major college football in this age of quick-trigger personnel decisions and unearthed some chilling tidbits. Kentucky's skipper, a first-time head coach, is now a relative old-timer? Believe it:
* Kentucky's Mark Stoops, the first hire of the post-2012 season wave, has been on the job longer than 22.8 percent of his fellow FBS coaches. He was hired Nov. 27.
* West Virginia's Dana Holgorsen, promoted in the summer of 2011, has been on the job in Morgantown longer than 54 other head coaches.
Please remove all children, pregnant women, nursing mothers and heart patients from the vicinity before reminding yourself just how long Kirk Ferentz has clung to the head job at Iowa. And before you ask, because you will: We did check, and as of press time, still no quantifiable metrics exist to demonstrate how dumb FIU was to fire Mario Cristobal.

text: i have a dripping shower head made by price pfister. it is roughly 11 years old (made ca. 1994). i have replaced the o-ring and used plumber's tape, but still get the drip. i noticed the drip turns into a slight, but steady, stream of water when the shower head is removed. so this leads me to believe the drip is caused by the shower handle. any suggestions. if you need serial numbers, please let me know. also, the shower head is similar to the moen "tear drop", but it is a little wider at both ends. thanks for your help.

The legislation that created Tennessee's Voluntary Pre-k (VPK) Program requires the State and our districts to account for the students served in our state and lottery funded pre-k classes. Thanks to the hard work and diligence of the attendance, technology and pre-k staff at our districts to correctly enroll and classify the children in our programs, we are able to provide required information.
The Pre-K Enrollment, Scheduling and Attendance Guidelines were developed to be used in conjunction with the Tennessee Department of Education Student Membership And Attendance Accountability Procedures Manual.
There are a few points of note in the attached guidelines that we want to bring to your attention when you are enrolling and coding pre-kindergarten (pre-k) students who participate in Tennessee's Voluntary Pre-k (VPK) classes.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Tracey Ray, Director of Data Services, Tennessee Department of Education, Division of School Readiness and Early Learning at the following: Phone: (615) 253-5215; email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Pre-K Enrollment, Scheduling and Attendance Guidelines Summary
